Trump’s Higher Prices, GOP Ignorance & Texas AI Censorship

Trump’s Higher Prices, GOP Ignorance & Texas AI Censorship

Author: TJ Walker August 19, 2026 Duration: 32:33

Donald Trump’s economic record is under attack after Senator Jon Ossoff highlighted rising prices for gas, diesel, coffee, and ground beef. TJ Walker examines the numbers—and offers a brutally sarcastic defense of why higher prices might supposedly be good for Americans.

The episode also looks at a newly appointed South Carolina senator who admitted she was not informed about Taiwan, the South China Sea, or national security, raising questions about political qualifications and the hypocrisy surrounding attacks on DEI.

Finally, Texas Tech’s AI-assisted curriculum review is creating concerns about ideological censorship and academic freedom. Could restrictions involving sexual orientation and gender identity make it harder for professors to teach the Holocaust, slavery, Jim Crow, and other uncomfortable parts of American history?
